HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen12 Parts
The HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen12 is the 1U single-processor member of the Gen12 line — one Intel Xeon 6 CPU, 16 DDR5 slots, and front ends running from 4 LFF spindles to 20 EDSFF flash bays. HPE positions it for edge, cloud-native, IaaS, and general-purpose workloads, virtualized or containerized. Every part below is genuine HPE, available new and refurbished, and tested for compatibility before it ships. Live pricing for each part number appears in the tables further down this page.
DL320 Gen12 Platform at a Glance
- Processors: one Intel Xeon 6 CPU — Efficient-core models up to 144 cores, or Performance-core, Mainline, and Single Socket models from 8 to 86 cores
- Memory: 16 DIMM slots on 8 channels at 2 DIMMs per channel, HPE DDR5 Smart Memory RDIMM — up to 4TB
- Chassis: SFF, SFF/EDSFF, 4LFF, 12LFF, and GPU CTO servers — up to 10 SFF, 20 EDSFF E3.S, or 12 LFF drives
- Expansion: two PCIe 5.0 x16 FHHL slots, rear OCP 3.0 slot A embedded, optional rear OCP slot B, and optional front OCP
- Networking: no network controller standard — an OCP 3.0 or PCIe stand-up adapter is required on every build
- Power and cooling: M-CRPS hot-plug power supplies from 800W to 2400W; seven fan kits required per server
- Management: HPE iLO 7 on the DC-SCM module with Intelligent Provisioning, plus embedded TPM 2.0
Know your chassis before you order. The DL320 Gen12 ships as SFF, SFF/EDSFF, 4LFF, 12LFF, and GPU CTO servers, and the chassis decides which drive cages and backplanes fit. It is also a single-processor server — one Intel Xeon 6 CPU feeds all 16 DIMM slots, both PCIe 5.0 slots, and the OCP slots.
Full platform detail is in the official HPE DL320 Gen12 QuickSpecs.

DL320 Gen12 Parts FAQ
What is the HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen12 used for?
It is HPE's 1U single-processor Gen12 server, built around Intel Xeon 6 processors, DDR5-6400 memory, and PCIe 5.0. HPE positions it for edge computing, cloud-native and IaaS workloads, and general-purpose virtualized or containerized workloads, noting it draws considerably less energy than a two-socket system.
How many processors does the DL320 Gen12 take?
One. The configuration guide has you choose a single processor, and that CPU feeds all 16 DIMM slots, both PCIe 5.0 slots, and the OCP slots.
How much memory does the DL320 Gen12 support?
Up to 4TB - 16 DIMM slots on 8 channels at 2 DIMMs per channel, with HPE DDR5 Smart Memory RDIMMs from 16GB to 256GB 3DS. The QuickSpecs state that every listed processor supports up to 4TB.
What drives does the DL320 Gen12 accept?
It depends on the chassis. The SFF server takes 8 SFF drives, or 10 with the 8+2 cage; the SFF/EDSFF server takes up to 10 SFF or 20 EDSFF E3.S drives; the 4LFF and 12LFF servers take LFF spindles; the GPU server takes SFF or EDSFF cages.
Does the DL320 Gen12 have built-in network ports?
No. The QuickSpecs list network ports as none standard and state the server does not include a network controller, so every configuration needs an OCP 3.0 or PCIe stand-up adapter. The dedicated iLO management port on the DC-SCM module is separate from production networking.
Can I mix new and refurbished parts in the DL320 Gen12?
Yes. Genuine HPE parts perform identically whether new or refurbished, and our refurbished stock is tested before shipping - a common way to add memory, drives, or a second power supply at lower cost.
